👩🎨 Directions:
1. Create your canvas: Tape a plastic lid or sheet to your work surface to prevent slipping.
2. Outline (optional): If using black glue, draw an outline (like stained glass) first and let it dry completely for a bold border effect.
3. Add glue: Fill the open spaces with clear glue. Pour slowly so it doesn’t overflow.
4. Color & swirl: Add drops of food coloring or watercolor to the glue. Use a toothpick to swirl and blend colors.
5. Let it dry: Set aside in a warm, dry place for 24–48 hours. The glue will dry clear and glossy.
6. Remove & hang: Peel suncatcher from the lid or sheet, punch a hole, and hang in a sunny window!
